It’s certainly not over and there’s 4 debates to come, but this is never good news. McCain lost two in Rasmussen and is now down by 5. He’s down a whopping 7 in Hotline and a more conservative 3 in Gallup. He has to start kicking The One’s ass if he’s going to stay afloat. Time to crack out the Ayers, Wright, etc..
Then there’s this from National Journal. Apparently the possibility of the GOP losing 9 seats in the Senate, giving libs a veto-proof majority, isn’t implausible anymore.
Any comfort? Not much. If Obama does get elected, the public can expect the financial situation to get worse. His support for an increase in taxes isn’t going to fly well. Democrats in Congress, the most unpopular in history, will be brought front-and-center. No matter how badly Democrats are performing now, Republicans are still seen as in charge. A Democratic president and Democratic Congress may well change that.
